In short:

A pilot program in Beijing is issuing identification cards for AI digital humans.

The ID states a name, birthday, address and facial features, and allows the digital human to own a digital currency wallet.

What’s next?

Digital humans are widely used in Chinese media with the market estimated to be worth $10 billion in 2025.

    Ok, I am also anti-ai but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck…it’s a duck. At this point, this is software operated actor, so regulation is good.

      Ok, I’m an AI vegan[a], but how are

      name, birthday, address and facial features

      “walking, quacking, and looking like a duck”?


      [a]:

      recognizing LLMs as potentially possessing interiority/moral patienthood and opposing their industrial or otherwise objectified use because of it (alongside all the other reasons).

        Oh, may be I was unclear af. What I meant is if it acts like an actor, talks like an actor and looks like an actor, it’s an actor. And as such, needs to be treated like an actor - have an ID etc.

            What differientiates a good actor from a bad one? Bad one is a puppet, good one can save a bad character by improv.

            And I never said that AI is a good actor - just that it is an actor xD
